to provide websockets support.
Just for brainstorming: do websockets really need much special? How wild is it to split input stream on newlines and wait for the upgrade header and then generate/parse websocket frames? There would have to be some protection, like not allowing more than x bytes before the upgrade and such, but perhaps it's an option? It saves having dependencies.
